Product details
Overview
ESD562DBZR from Texas Instruments is a bidirectional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode designed for I/O line protection in industrial RS-485/RS-422 interfaces. It provides ±22 kV contact and ±30 kV air-gap ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2, 3.5 A (8/20 µs) surge capability per IEC 61000-4-5, 12 V working voltage, and 1.5 pF typical line capacitance - enabling robust, high-speed signal integrity in factory automation and grid infrastructure systems.
For engineers reviewing the ESD562DBZR datasheet, ESD562DBZR pinout, ESD562DBZR application, or ESD562DBZR equivalent, this device serves as a low-capacitance, SOT-23 packaged ESD protector optimized for differential bus interfaces where clamping voltage, leakage current (<50 nA at ±12 V), and thermal reliability (RθJA = 250.4 °C/W) are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The ESD562DBZR implements a silicon avalanche diode architecture with symmetrical bidirectional snapback behavior, delivering matched positive/negative clamping voltages (VCLAMP = 21 V at ±3 A) and holding voltage (VHOLD = 16.5 V) to protect both signal polarities without polarity biasing. Its low dynamic resistance ensures minimal voltage overshoot during fast transients.
Designed specifically for RS-485/RS-422 differential pairs, it connects across A/Y and B/Z lines to ground, leveraging its 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) package with pins 1 and 2 as interchangeable I/O terminals and pin 3 as dedicated GND - supporting compact layout and AOI-compatible assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IEC 61000-4-2 ESD | ±22 kV contact / ±30 kV air-gap - exceeds Level 4 immunity for industrial environments |
| IEC 61000-4-5 Surge | 3.5 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs) - protects against induced lightning surges on long cable runs |
| Working Voltage (VRWM) | ±12 V - matches RS-485 common-mode range and avoids false triggering during normal operation |
| Line Capacitance (CLINE) | 1.5 pF typical at 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity up to >50 Mbps on RS-485 buses |
| Clamping Voltage (VCLAMP) | 21 V at ±3 A (8/20 µs) - limits downstream IC stress below absolute maximum ratings of standard transceivers |
| Leakage Current | ≤50 nA at ±12 V - prevents DC loading or offset errors in precision analog or high-impedance receivers |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - supports deployment in uncontrolled industrial enclosures and outdoor grid nodes |
Pinout & Package
ESD562DBZR is housed in a leaded 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) package measuring 2.92 mm × 2.37 mm with 1.12 mm max height, optimized for automated optical inspection and reflow soldering (MSL Level-1, 260 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | I/O | Surge-protected bidirectional signal terminal - connects to one side of differential pair (e.g., A or Y) |
| 2 | I/O | Surge-protected bidirectional signal terminal - connects to opposite side of differential pair (e.g., B or Z) |
| 3 | GND | Dedicated low-inductance ground return path - must be connected directly to system ground plane for effective clamping |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRSR | Unidirectional, 5.5 V VRWM, 0.9 pF capacitance, lower surge rating (1.5 A) | Targeted at USB/low-voltage data lines; insufficient for ±12 V RS-485 common-mode range | Select only for 3.3 V or 5 V interfaces requiring ultra-low capacitance; not suitable as direct replacement for ESD562DBZR |
| ESD5601DMPR | Bidirectional, 12 V VRWM, 1.8 pF capacitance, same 3.5 A surge rating, DFN-2 package | Offers comparable electrical specs but requires rework for solder paste volume and thermal pad layout | Preferred when board space is constrained and DFN-2 assembly capability exists; no change in circuit function or protection level |
Compared with TPD2E001DRSR and ESD5601DMPR, ESD562DBZR uniquely balances 12 V working voltage, 1.5 pF capacitance, and 3.5 A surge handling in a legacy-compatible SOT-23 footprint - making it optimal for drop-in upgrades of existing RS-485 designs without layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous working voltage supported by ESD562DBZR?
The ESD562DBZR has a reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of ±12 V, meaning it can continuously withstand up to 12 V in either polarity across its I/O pins without conduction. This matches the common-mode voltage range of RS-485 transceivers and ensures reliable operation without false triggering during normal bus signaling. The device remains non-conductive until transient voltages exceed its breakdown threshold of 13.2 V.
How does ESD562DBZR achieve bidirectional protection with only three pins?
The ESD562DBZR uses an internal symmetrical dual-diode configuration tied to a common cathode-anode junction referenced to pin 3 (GND). Pins 1 and 2 are electrically identical I/O terminals - each forms a back-to-back diode path to ground, allowing equal clamping for positive and negative transients. This eliminates the need for separate anode/cathode assignments and enables flexible placement on differential signal pairs in the ESD562DBZR design.
Can ESD562DBZR be used to protect single-ended interfaces like CAN or UART?
ESD562DBZR is optimized for differential interfaces such as RS-485/RS-422 and is not recommended for single-ended buses like CAN or UART. Its bidirectional clamping is balanced for symmetric voltage swings, whereas CAN requires asymmetric protection (dominant/recessive logic levels) and UART often demands tighter VRWM tolerance. For those interfaces, TI recommends purpose-built devices like TCAN1042 (CAN) or ESD7L5.0ST5G (UART), which align with ESD562DBZR's protection philosophy but differ in topology and rating.
What is the thermal performance of ESD562DBZR under sustained surge conditions?
ESD562DBZR has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 250.4 °C/W in its SOT-23 (DBZ) package. During short-duration transients (e.g., 8/20 µs surge), self-heating is negligible. However, under repetitive surges or elevated ambient temperatures (>85 °C), thermal derating applies: the 3.5 A surge rating assumes 25 °C ambient, and peak pulse power drops to ~42 W at 100 °C. Layout with adequate copper pour under pin 3 (GND) improves RθJB to 84.0 °C/W, enhancing sustained reliability in the ESD562DBZR application.
Is ESD562DBZR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, ESD562DBZR is qualified for lead-free reflow with a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating of Level-1 (unlimited floor life) and a peak reflow temperature of 260 °C. Its NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish ensures robust wetting and intermetallic formation during standard JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant profiles. The SOT-23 (DBZ) package's 1.12 mm max height and thermal mass allow uniform heating without tombstoning - confirmed in TI's assembly guidelines for the ESD562DBZR device.
